Post your expectation and then vote what you think he will do. Does Pop let him loose, continue to try to get everyone else going, go for the throat?

Meh..He was already a top 5ish player last year...
I wasn't trying to imply he wasn't, but he is undoubtedly better this year and is the true alpha now that Timmy is gone. Skills wise he was the alpha last year but this is truly HIS team now and I believe we will see a hungry Kawhi who will impose his will on other teams and do whatever it takes to get a W. I want to know what everyone else believes.Quote:

You think Pop will make lineup adjustments to better handle double teams? I feel with Tony and Green out there, when Kawhi gets doubled and can kick it out, the defense has plenty of time to recover because Greens inability to drive and Parker's inability to shoot. Seems like, to me, even when he is successful and makes the right play out of the double team, the team can't take advantage of the 4v3. I would like to see some mix of Dijon/Manu/Mills/Green, with Manu or Dijon a MUST if you play Green, to take advantage of the doubles if they start to happen.Quote:

Tell that to Enrique. :lolQuote:

Crack is a hell of a drug. Good defender, not near the best in the league.Quote:

First true Alpha since Timmy.

You think fathead Anderson is good and LMA isn't one of the best defenders in the league. Delete your account.Quote:

Talent wise, Kawhi. I think most of us could agree that Timmy was still the leader emotionally.Quote:
